Likely Severe Weather Tonight, Tomorrow Morning, Friday, Saturday

As clouds increase over the next few hours, we are monitoring the potential for severe weather. As early as 10:00 tonight, storms could enter West Alabama. James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist alerted us that “most of the activity comes after midnight, into the pre-dawn hours tomorrow. Some of the thunderstorms could produce strong, gusty winds and small hail. A brief, isolated tornado is possible, but not likely.”

The National Weather Service in Birmingham has our coverage areas under a Hazardous Weather Outlook. “A couple of severe storms are possible starting late tonight in West Alabama, continuing to the east through the overnight hours. Threats include damaging winds up to 60 mph and a brief tornado.”
